Oxen are known for their equilibrium and tenacity. They are hard, conscientious workers who can be determined, methodical and resolute when they set out to accomplish something. Those born with this sign are certain of what they want to achieve in life and are often chosen as leaders in their community due to their innate sense of responsibility and direction.
Oxen take their responsibilities very seriously. The Ox is also known for his sincerity and puts trust in his friends and colleagues. However, they tend to be private individuals who are loners. They are attached to their independence and prefer to do things their own way.
While they have a calm and quiet nature, they can become easily angered if they feel that someone has let them down. Furthermore they can equally be stubborn and accustomed to getting their own way. In the event that things don't go their way, they can be poor losers.
Oxen are attached to their home and consider it their private sanctuary. They are close to their family and strive to obtain a balanced household where all contribute. Not particularly outgoing, they often take a while to make friends or to feel comfortable in another person's company. Nevertheless, once they are settled with someone, they usually remain devoted and loyal to their partners. The signs of the Rat, Rabbit, Snake and Rooster are particular well-suited to the Oxen.
They are not overly fond of change, thus they generally are not big travelers. However, as they enjoy nature and tend to take enormous pleasure in gardening, they often prefer the country to the city.
Because of their dedication and dependability, they usually do well with their careers, provided that they maintain a sense of freedom to act on their own initiative. They do well in politics, agriculture and highly skilled professions. Likewise they are gifted in the arts.
On the whole, Oxen are a solid, down-to-earth characters who prefer convention to innovation. They are known more for their deep thinking than for their sense of humor. But their courageous and confidence-inspiring personalities win them admiration and support from those around them.
